One of my favorites for sure. Our KB player really shines on that tune. The lyrics are vintage early Americana Robert Hunter at his best. An inspiring and deep melodic song no matter which era the Dead played it in.

definately one of my faves. I have checked it a few times from here so i might well be responsible for some of its popularity... The Europe 72 version of this song is one of my faves. since my 1st copy was one that i copied (w/out the songlists) from a friend, i forever assumed the song was called Delilah Jones...

Always a favorite of mine to hear and also play. Grenadine rhymes with clean, most likely was enough for Hunter. Not sure he deliberated weather anyone in a newsgroup on the internet would be analyzing his choice in words for alcoholic content 35 years after he wrote it.
